Bsflies has made many posts about flies and other information about Henry's. If you haven't already, take some time to read his old posts.
Henry's is different than most places people troll. The deepest parts of the lake aren't much deeper than 20 feet deep. Weeds make trolling at Henry's much more work than trolling other places.
At Henry's, I've caught fishing trolling about every lure I've tried. Spoons, pop gear, crankbaits, rapalas, flat fish, various flies, and spinners will all catch fish will trolling. The last couple years I've mostly trolled with spinners and crankbaits. Panther Martins, Mepps and Blue Fox are all great spinners. I've found that smaller and medium sized crankbaits work better than the large (5" long or larger) crankbaits. Fishing with jigs can also be effective.
I don't think the paticular lure is near as important as keeping the lure weed free, fishing the correct speed for that lure and fishing the right place. While trolling Henry's, I usually pull weeds off my lures every 5-10 minutes.
